Error Analysis









On a math test, Ricardo was given the equation 3x 9 = 12. For his first step, he divided
both sides by three and got x 3 = 4. Then he added three and got the solution x = 7.
What was Ricardos first mistake? What should be the correct solution?

Challenge Questions

Use what you have learned from this lesson to solve the advanced problems below.

1. Gerardo watched two movies and four TV shows in Netflix this weekend.
Each show last 30 minutes, but he couldnt remember how long the movies were.
Assuming both movies are the same length, if he spent a total of 6 hours watching
movies and TV shows, how long did each movie last?





2. Francisco received $100 for his birthday. He decided to go shopping for new
shoes and sports equipment. He bought discounted soccer shoes for $55 and three
soccer balls. If he left the store with only $21 left over, how much did he spend
on the soccer balls? How much did each one cost?






3. Two brothers are playing Call of Duty. When they compare their ranking, the
older brother is a lot higher, but hes also played a lot more. If the older brother
has played twice has many minutes as the younger brother, and they have both
played a total of 120 minutes, how many minutes has each brother played?
